Support: Groups, Activities & events

If you would like to be involved in any of the support activities for Tailor Clinics and Foundations of Healthy Living Retreat, please take a look at our Facebook pages or subscribe to our newsletter (on our welcome page) where we keep you informed about the activities we have organised.

FB: Tailor Clinics
FB: Tailor Clinics (patients only group)
FB: Foundations of Healthy Living Retreat

We hold monthly Facebook Live sessions on the first Wednesday night of every month, from 7-8 pm (through our public TC patients page…so if you have not told people you have had bariatric surgery, you may choose to watch the recording instead). We encourage you to bring your questions and we will answer them as we go along. Any topics raised are also very useful for us as they are often a prompt for highlighting areas to cover in upcoming newsletters and/or events and activities that we can hold. We will at different times, have guest speakers as well, that can provide expertise in their particular area.

So don’t be shy, log-in each month and we’d love to share an hour with you covering your questions, issues and concerns or just giving you more information for the areas you want more knowledge in. The foundation of our Tailor Clinics practice is connection and community, and we love to see as many of you be a part of it…join us then!

If you know of others that may be interested, please encourage them to also follow our FB page to keep them informed as well. We also have a number of people who join us both in our support events, and our retreats, who have not had surgery, as we recognise the skills for living a healthy life cover many aspects and people in different phases of their journey.

Our “Walk ‘n’ Talk” events are face to face meet-ups each month where we have an opportunity to network with each other as well as some of the members of our team, to get outside, do some physical activity, meet new friends and have a coffee and chit chat at the end. If you are a newbie, or a veteran in this bariatric surgery game, we encourage you to participate with like-minded people and enjoy the fellowship that results.

Whilst we haven’t had a Weight Management Workshop since pre-Covid, we are planning an workshop again this year, where we will have a number of speakers including a Keynote presenter, panels for questions/answers, and the wonderful gala evening at the end where you can all mix and mingle, be entertained and if you feel up to it, dance the night away! This is truly a fabulous day to be educated, informed, supported and motivated by both the experienced staff at Tailor Clinics and your fellow bariatric surgery recipients who love to encourage one another. These are also open to everyone; so any person who wants to increase their knowledge and that may have had their surgery elsewhere in the country, it’s not just for Tailor Clinics patients.

So, if you are keen to stay connected, receive support and meet with like-minded people, get in touch with us at the clinic and we can direct you to the information.

We do not heal in isolation, we heal in community :)
